断臂维纳斯
只因过份完美,
才被砍去两只膀臂?
还是因失去了双臂,
才显得美妙无比?
可否下一个更确切的定义,
美即,
残缺得恰到好处。
VENUS DE MILO
Is it because it is too perfect
that its two arms are cut off?
Or is it because it has lost its two arms
that it becomes so beautiful?
Can we give a more precise definition?
Beauty is
the perfect degree of imperfection.
